Event Details
Inspired by the Ralph Ellison novel “Invisible Man,” YOUR REFUSAL TO SEE: A Native Guide Project deals with the artist’s venture of becoming a resident of this city.
Boulder, Colo.: Anna Tsouhlarakis works in sculpture, installation, video, and performance. She received her Bachelor of Arts from Dartmouth College with degrees in Native American Studies and Studio Art. She went on to receive her Master of Fine Arts from Yale University in Sculpture.
In cities such as Portland, Ore., Scottsdale, Ariz., St. Louis, Mo., and Columbus, Ohio, Tsouhlarakis has created various iterations of THE NATIVE GUIDE PROJECT. For her installation at East Window, Tsouhlarakis uses the framework of THE NATIVE GUIDE PROJECT to reflect and illustrate her journey as a dark brown woman and the racial interactions that create moments of absolute hilarity and horror.
Her work has been part of national and international exhibitions at venues such as Rush Arts in New York, the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, Crystal Bridges Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, and the National Portrait Gallery. Tsouhlarakis has participated in various art residencies including Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Yaddo, and was the Andrew W. Mellon Artist-in-Residence at Colorado College for the 2019-2020 academic year. She was awarded a Creative Capital Grant in 2021 and recently received a 2022 Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award.
The opening reception for YOUR REFUSAL TO SEE: A Native Guide Project, with Tsouhlarakis in person is Nov. 1, 2024 at 7-9 p.m. at the East Window Gallery located at 4550 Broadway, Ste C-3B2, Boulder, Colo. The event is open to the public. This exhibit is funded in part by the Boulder Arts Commission.
We invite members of the press to join us for this event. Please contact the organizer directly to coordinate your visit.

Event Details
Created in collaboration with Colorado Asian Pacific United (CAPU) and the University of Colorado Denver’s College of Architecture and Planning, Where is Denver’s Chinatown? Stories Remembered, Reclaimed, Reimagined takes visitors into one of the largest Chinatowns in the American West during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Using personal family photographs and objects, artifacts from History Colorado’s Collection, a portrayal of a typical home, and artistic reimaginings of the neighborhood, Where is Denver’s Chinatown? shares stories from the thriving community that called the neighborhood home.
Once located in the area known today as Lower Downtown (LoDo), Denver’s Chinatown provided a welcoming space for Chinese people in Colorado, who built a flourishing community. The neighborhood represented the earliest Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) community in Denver and provided a space where Chinese immigrants could celebrate their culture against a backdrop of frequent ignorance, hostility, and violence.
The neighborhood persisted through the Anti-Chinese Riot of 1880 but eventually dispersed as a result of widespread anti-Chinese racism and the passage of national laws that restricted immigration and opportunities for Chinese nationals. In addition to looking at the history of the neighborhood Where is Denver’s Chinatown? Stories Remembered, Reclaimed, Reimagined also explores contemporary efforts by Colorado’s AANHPI communities to preserve and reclaim this history, and presents visions for its potential future as a cultural district.
October 9, 2024, 5:30 – 8 p.m.
Photo/Video opportunities of History Colorado Center’s newest exhibition and opening celebration featuring the performance of a traditional Chinese Lion Dance from 6 – 6:15 p.m. as well as interview opportunities with History Colorado staff, community collaborators, and guests are available.

This exhibition showcases 31 artists who illuminate darkness through diverse media, ranging from storytelling to scientific experimentation, photography, fiber optics, film, and sculpture. Their works expand awareness on personal, universal, and spiritual levels.While forces of light and dark are often simplified as opposites in a dualistic world, the multifaceted works in Dazzle of Darkness expose this false dichotomy. The artists challenge the one-dimensional reality we have been conditioned to accept and offer a gateway into a new consciousness of the subtle and infinite nuances of the universe.

Event Details
An exhibit recognizing the 50th anniversary of six marriage licenses issued to same-sex couples in 1975.
In the 1970s, a significant amount of activity was stirring in Boulder around the rights of people to love and marry the one they love. Some of these actions were significantly ahead of their time and much of the rest of the country.
On March 26, 1975, a marriage license was issued at the Boulder County Courthouse to Dave McCord and Dave Zamora by the County Clerk, Clela Rorex. This was nearly the first time in the country two men had been granted a marriage license. More LGBTQ+ couples approached Rorex for licenses and five more were granted before the Colorado Attorney General ordered her to stop.
Over a year prior, Mayor Penfield Tate II and City Council member Tim Fuller had amended the city’s Human Rights Ordinance to include protection from workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation. Amid backlash, Fuller was recalled and Tate narrowly stayed in office.
Community and activism had been stirring in pockets of Boulder’s LGBTQ+ communities. Community members approached these elected officials, at great personal risk. Their support opened doors that some had not even considered could be opened.
Join us for a celebration opening night on March 14.

Museum of Boulder
THE NEW MUSEUM OF BOULDER
The Boulder Historical Society was founded in 1944 by A.A. ‘Gov’ Paddock, then publisher of the Boulder Daily Camera, to collect, document, preserve and interpret the history of the Boulder area. Over the years, we have accumulated a significant collection of artifacts, documents and photographs that chronicle the history of the area. Today, the Boulder Historical Society operates as the Museum of Boulder. It is a private 501(c)3 organization with an annual operating budget around $1M.
The Boulder Historical Society was officially organized on October 10th, 1944, when the “Territorial Pioneers” and other interested citizens convened with the intent to establish an organization and a facility to collect, preserve and display the history of the area. In 1945, voters approved a citywide bond to build a new municipal building in downtown Boulder, which would include the history museum. Rising construction costs after the war resulted in the museum getting cut from the project. Instead of moving into a brand new municipal building, the history museum occupied the second floor of a downtown school building until 1957.
Over the years, the museum continued to play an important role in the life of the City. In addition to the small museum, the museum continued to collect artifacts, host programs and publish a few manuscripts. It changed locations a number of times, including an historic home and a former Safeway store. In 1985 the museum moved to its prior location, the historic Harbeck House, on University Hill. The Harbeck House is a 4,000 square-foot historic landmark home built in 1899. The building is located in a residential section of Boulder, just a few blocks from the University of Colorado, Boulder. The building is owned by the City of Boulder and was returned to the City when the Museum relocated to the present site at 2205 Broadway.
For many years, the Museum was a small, volunteer run organization. Support came from memberships, contributions and small grants. Over the years we have made great strides in providing Boulder with nationally touring exhibits as well as developing exhibits based on Boulder stories including Native Americans, aerospace history, natural foods, sports and beer. We now reach thousands of school children in the Museum and through outreach programs, with some of the highest quality education programs in the region. We have become a visible and reliable source of information in the Boulder community, as well as a place to bring friends and family.
In April 2013, the Museum purchased the Masonic Lodge building in downtown Boulder. We embarked on a capital campaign and have converted this building into the Museum of Boulder. It is now a state-of-the-art museum that explores not only the roots of our community, but the accomplishments today that will be history tomorrow; it brings the community together for exploration and conversations about issues facing Boulder today and in the future.

Through unique materials, gestures, and symbols, these six artists delve into abstraction to engage with profound themes of interconnectedness, sparking reflection on our individual and collective existence. The work reimagines the fragments of life as elements of a cohesive whole, blurring the boundaries between past and present, natural and artificial, as well as the physical and spiritual.

Event Details
Dairy Art Center’s 2025 Black Futures in Art exhibition, The Space Between Us, invites us to reimagine the unseen distances that define and divide us. Building upon last year’s powerful theme, “Can You Hear Me?” this exhibition explores the energy and potential within the gaps that separate individuals, communities, and cultures. These spaces are not voids; they are dynamic realms of possibility where understanding, empathy, and collaboration can flourish.
In a world often marked by divisions of race, class, and cultural differences, this exhibition asks us to reflect on how those separations came to be, why they persist, and what it will take to dismantle them. The Space Between Us is not a critique of the walls but a celebration of the bridges we can build—of the creativity, resilience, and humanity that can thrive in the in-between.
Black artists and allies from across Colorado and the US honor the past while architecting the future with artworks ranging from floral installations to oil paintings that explore the interconnectedness of our shared humanity. Their works confront the narratives that have shaped our collective consciousness and challenge us to forge a path forward. These artists illuminate the complexities of identity and history while offering visions of solidarity, where our differences become a source of strength rather than division. Each piece in this exhibit invites the viewer to confront their perceptions, to feel the energy that exists between “us” and “them,” and to consider what is required to transform those barriers into bonds. The artworks provoke, inspire, and hold space for dialogue, urging us to rethink the roles we play in fostering community and dismantling exclusion.
Black Futures in Art: The Space Between Us is an exploration of interconnectedness—of the power and potential within the space we share. Through creativity, we are reminded that the energy we bring into these spaces can change the world. When we honor each other’s stories, acknowledge the weight of our differences, and move toward collaboration, we create a collective vision that celebrates humanity in its most vibrant and inclusive form.
We invite you to join us in honoring our past, navigating the present, and boldly stepping into a future that redefines the spaces we inhabit—together.

The Denver Museum of Nature & Science is delighted to announce the opening of its newest exhibition, “Angkor: The Lost Empire of Cambodia,” beginning Feb. 21, 2025. Featuring more than 100 exquisite carvings, sacred sculptures and ancient relics—many of which are being displayed outside Cambodia for the first time—this exhibition sheds light on the awe-inspiring achievements of Angkor. From the iconic Angkor Wat temple complex to the innovative engineering feats that sustained a vast empire, visitors will uncover the mysteries of how this vibrant civilization rose to prominence and later disappeared into the Southeast Asian jungle.
“We are honored to bring the story of Angkor to Denver,” said Dr. Michele Koons, director of Anthropology and curator of Archaeology at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. “This exhibition offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for guests to connect with one of the world’s most extraordinary ancient civilizations and to marvel at its stunning artistic, cultural and architectural legacy.”
Before exploring the exhibition, guests are encouraged to discover the story of Angkor on the giant screen with “Angkor: The Lost Empire of Cambodia,” opening on Feb. 20 on the Museum’s Infinity Theater. This visually stunning and fascinating film provides an incredible opportunity to explore Angkor’s history and culture, offering the perfect orientation and a deeper understanding for our guests’ visit to the exhibition. Get tickets to the film, here.
Details and highlights:
Real Artifacts from Cambodia: The exhibition showcases genuine Khmer artifacts, including sculptures, tools and religious items that provide insight into the empire’s history and spirituality.
Interactive Lidar Mapping Display: Guests can explore Angkor’s hidden temples and city structures through an engaging interactive floor projection, uncovering how modern technology has revolutionized our understanding of the Khmer Empire.
Hands-On Musical Experience: On occasion, guests will be able to pluck a kse diev, the oldest traditional Khmer musical instrument, to connect with the ancient sounds of the Khmer people.
Bayon Wall Scanner: This interactive feature lets guests investigate intricate bas-reliefs, revealing captivating scenes of daily life, work and worship in Angkor.
Alongside government representatives traveling from Cambodia, the Museum has collaborated closely with the local Cambodian community to open “Angkor: The Lost Empire of Cambodia” in Denver.
“The exhibition has something for everyone, from curious children to history enthusiasts and archaeology buffs,” said Kelsi Cowan, program coordinator for the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. “The Museum aims to deepen guests’ appreciation for Angkor’s enduring influence and to inspire curiosity about this remarkable civilization. We’re excited for people from across the Rocky Mountain region to connect and engage with living Cambodian art, culture and heritage.”

Longmont Museum
In 1940, the first exhibits opened to the public in the carriage house at the Callahan House. The Museum outgrew that space, and, in 1954, moved to the basement of the Memorial Building in Roosevelt Park.
The Museum became more officially structured with the incorporation of the Longmont Museum, Inc., on October 4, 1961.
In 1970, the Museum changed from a private, nonprofit organization to a department of the City of Longmont. Shortly after that, the Museum moved again, this time to a converted Sorenson garage at 3rd and Kimbark. The new space opened its doors on September 13, 1970. In 1973, the garage was torn down and the Museum moved to a converted City warehouse and garage at 375 Kimbark Street.
In November 1999, Longmont voters approved $5 million in a bond issue to build a new museum. The bond issue was approved by over 77 percent of voters. The Longmont Museum & Cultural Center was further enhanced by a $1 million gift from the Bill and Lila Stewart family. Now located at 400 Quail Road, just east of Main Street in south Longmont, the Longmont Museum invites visitors to come and see our regularly changing exhibits, experience our education programs, and enjoy the views from our Longs Peak Room tower.
In 2015, the Museum opened the Stewart Auditorium, an 11,000 square foot expansion made possible by a $4.5 million capital campaign. The expansion included the 250-seat Stewart auditorium and Cone-Shortall stage, the glass-walled Swan Atrium, and the Kaiser Permanente Education Center, which greatly expanded the Museum’s classroom space.
In 2023, the Museum once again launched a new capital campaign, this time to fund a comprehensive expansion, including a complete renovation of the outdoor courtyard, adding a dedicated children’s gallery, and doubling the size of the existing gallery space, among other enhancements. The campaign goal is $8 million with a kickoff and groundbreaking in September, 2023.
Longmont is a diverse, multicultural and receptive city, one in which it’s easy for people to make connections and to thrive as part of the community. As home to many customs and cultures, it’s easy for residents and visitors to find fellowship with others of similar backgrounds and to explore and join in traditions that are new or foreign. The many nonprofit, civic and cultural organizations of Longmont welcome new people to become involved, and there is opportunity to find others with whom to share almost any interest. Not only do “you belong in Longmont” if you’re looking for a welcoming hometown or business location, but “when you’re in Longmont, you belong.”

In 2015, the Museum opened the Stewart Auditorium, an 11,000 square foot expansion made possible by a $4.5 million capital campaign. The expansion included the 250-seat Stewart auditorium and Cone-Shortall stage, the glass-walled Swan Atrium, and the Kaiser Permanente Education Center, which greatly expanded the Museum’s classroom space.
In 2023, the Museum once again launched a new capital campaign, this time to fund a comprehensive expansion, including a complete renovation of the outdoor courtyard, adding a dedicated children’s gallery, and doubling the size of the existing gallery space, among other enhancements. The campaign goal is $8 million with a kickoff and groundbreaking in September, 2023.
Longmont is a diverse, multicultural and receptive city, one in which it’s easy for people to make connections and to thrive as part of the community. As home to many customs and cultures, it’s easy for residents and visitors to find fellowship with others of similar backgrounds and to explore and join in traditions that are new or foreign. The many nonprofit, civic and cultural organizations of Longmont welcome new people to become involved, and there is opportunity to find others with whom to share almost any interest. Not only do “you belong in Longmont” if you’re looking for a welcoming hometown or business location, but “when you’re in Longmont, you belong.”

Inspired by the Ralph Ellison novel “Invisible Man,” YOUR REFUSAL TO SEE: A Native Guide Project deals with the artist’s venture of becoming a resident of this city.
Boulder, Colo.: Anna Tsouhlarakis works in sculpture, installation, video, and performance. She received her Bachelor of Arts from Dartmouth College with degrees in Native American Studies and Studio Art. She went on to receive her Master of Fine Arts from Yale University in Sculpture.
In cities such as Portland, Ore., Scottsdale, Ariz., St. Louis, Mo., and Columbus, Ohio, Tsouhlarakis has created various iterations of THE NATIVE GUIDE PROJECT. For her installation at East Window, Tsouhlarakis uses the framework of THE NATIVE GUIDE PROJECT to reflect and illustrate her journey as a dark brown woman and the racial interactions that create moments of absolute hilarity and horror.
Her work has been part of national and international exhibitions at venues such as Rush Arts in New York, the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, Crystal Bridges Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, and the National Portrait Gallery. Tsouhlarakis has participated in various art residencies including Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Yaddo, and was the Andrew W. Mellon Artist-in-Residence at Colorado College for the 2019-2020 academic year. She was awarded a Creative Capital Grant in 2021 and recently received a 2022 Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award.

Event Details
Created in collaboration with Colorado Asian Pacific United (CAPU) and the University of Colorado Denver’s College of Architecture and Planning, Where is Denver’s Chinatown? Stories Remembered, Reclaimed, Reimagined takes visitors into one of the largest Chinatowns in the American West during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Using personal family photographs and objects, artifacts from History Colorado’s Collection, a portrayal of a typical home, and artistic reimaginings of the neighborhood, Where is Denver’s Chinatown? shares stories from the thriving community that called the neighborhood home.
Once located in the area known today as Lower Downtown (LoDo), Denver’s Chinatown provided a welcoming space for Chinese people in Colorado, who built a flourishing community. The neighborhood represented the earliest Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) community in Denver and provided a space where Chinese immigrants could celebrate their culture against a backdrop of frequent ignorance, hostility, and violence.
The neighborhood persisted through the Anti-Chinese Riot of 1880 but eventually dispersed as a result of widespread anti-Chinese racism and the passage of national laws that restricted immigration and opportunities for Chinese nationals. In addition to looking at the history of the neighborhood Where is Denver’s Chinatown? Stories Remembered, Reclaimed, Reimagined also explores contemporary efforts by Colorado’s AANHPI communities to preserve and reclaim this history, and presents visions for its potential future as a cultural district.

This exhibition showcases 31 artists who illuminate darkness through diverse media, ranging from storytelling to scientific experimentation, photography, fiber optics, film, and sculpture. Their works expand awareness on personal, universal, and spiritual levels.While forces of light and dark are often simplified as opposites in a dualistic world, the multifaceted works in Dazzle of Darkness expose this false dichotomy. The artists challenge the one-dimensional reality we have been conditioned to accept and offer a gateway into a new consciousness of the subtle and infinite nuances of the universe.

Event Details
An exhibit recognizing the 50th anniversary of six marriage licenses issued to same-sex couples in 1975.
In the 1970s, a significant amount of activity was stirring in Boulder around the rights of people to love and marry the one they love. Some of these actions were significantly ahead of their time and much of the rest of the country.
On March 26, 1975, a marriage license was issued at the Boulder County Courthouse to Dave McCord and Dave Zamora by the County Clerk, Clela Rorex. This was nearly the first time in the country two men had been granted a marriage license. More LGBTQ+ couples approached Rorex for licenses and five more were granted before the Colorado Attorney General ordered her to stop.
Over a year prior, Mayor Penfield Tate II and City Council member Tim Fuller had amended the city’s Human Rights Ordinance to include protection from workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation. Amid backlash, Fuller was recalled and Tate narrowly stayed in office.
Community and activism had been stirring in pockets of Boulder’s LGBTQ+ communities. Community members approached these elected officials, at great personal risk. Their support opened doors that some had not even considered could be opened.

Museum of Boulder
THE NEW MUSEUM OF BOULDER
The Boulder Historical Society was founded in 1944 by A.A. ‘Gov’ Paddock, then publisher of the Boulder Daily Camera, to collect, document, preserve and interpret the history of the Boulder area. Over the years, we have accumulated a significant collection of artifacts, documents and photographs that chronicle the history of the area. Today, the Boulder Historical Society operates as the Museum of Boulder. It is a private 501(c)3 organization with an annual operating budget around $1M.
The Boulder Historical Society was officially organized on October 10th, 1944, when the “Territorial Pioneers” and other interested citizens convened with the intent to establish an organization and a facility to collect, preserve and display the history of the area. In 1945, voters approved a citywide bond to build a new municipal building in downtown Boulder, which would include the history museum. Rising construction costs after the war resulted in the museum getting cut from the project. Instead of moving into a brand new municipal building, the history museum occupied the second floor of a downtown school building until 1957.
Over the years, the museum continued to play an important role in the life of the City. In addition to the small museum, the museum continued to collect artifacts, host programs and publish a few manuscripts. It changed locations a number of times, including an historic home and a former Safeway store. In 1985 the museum moved to its prior location, the historic Harbeck House, on University Hill. The Harbeck House is a 4,000 square-foot historic landmark home built in 1899. The building is located in a residential section of Boulder, just a few blocks from the University of Colorado, Boulder. The building is owned by the City of Boulder and was returned to the City when the Museum relocated to the present site at 2205 Broadway.
For many years, the Museum was a small, volunteer run organization. Support came from memberships, contributions and small grants. Over the years we have made great strides in providing Boulder with nationally touring exhibits as well as developing exhibits based on Boulder stories including Native Americans, aerospace history, natural foods, sports and beer. We now reach thousands of school children in the Museum and through outreach programs, with some of the highest quality education programs in the region. We have become a visible and reliable source of information in the Boulder community, as well as a place to bring friends and family.
In April 2013, the Museum purchased the Masonic Lodge building in downtown Boulder. We embarked on a capital campaign and have converted this building into the Museum of Boulder. It is now a state-of-the-art museum that explores not only the roots of our community, but the accomplishments today that will be history tomorrow; it brings the community together for exploration and conversations about issues facing Boulder today and in the future.

Event Details
Dairy Art Center’s 2025 Black Futures in Art exhibition, The Space Between Us, invites us to reimagine the unseen distances that define and divide us. Building upon last year’s powerful theme, “Can You Hear Me?” this exhibition explores the energy and potential within the gaps that separate individuals, communities, and cultures. These spaces are not voids; they are dynamic realms of possibility where understanding, empathy, and collaboration can flourish.
In a world often marked by divisions of race, class, and cultural differences, this exhibition asks us to reflect on how those separations came to be, why they persist, and what it will take to dismantle them. The Space Between Us is not a critique of the walls but a celebration of the bridges we can build—of the creativity, resilience, and humanity that can thrive in the in-between.
Black artists and allies from across Colorado and the US honor the past while architecting the future with artworks ranging from floral installations to oil paintings that explore the interconnectedness of our shared humanity. Their works confront the narratives that have shaped our collective consciousness and challenge us to forge a path forward. These artists illuminate the complexities of identity and history while offering visions of solidarity, where our differences become a source of strength rather than division. Each piece in this exhibit invites the viewer to confront their perceptions, to feel the energy that exists between “us” and “them,” and to consider what is required to transform those barriers into bonds. The artworks provoke, inspire, and hold space for dialogue, urging us to rethink the roles we play in fostering community and dismantling exclusion.
Black Futures in Art: The Space Between Us is an exploration of interconnectedness—of the power and potential within the space we share. Through creativity, we are reminded that the energy we bring into these spaces can change the world. When we honor each other’s stories, acknowledge the weight of our differences, and move toward collaboration, we create a collective vision that celebrates humanity in its most vibrant and inclusive form.
We invite you to join us in honoring our past, navigating the present, and boldly stepping into a future that redefines the spaces we inhabit—together.

In 1940, the first exhibits opened to the public in the carriage house at the Callahan House. The Museum outgrew that space, and, in 1954, moved to the basement of the Memorial Building in Roosevelt Park.
The Museum became more officially structured with the incorporation of the Longmont Museum, Inc., on October 4, 1961.
In 1970, the Museum changed from a private, nonprofit organization to a department of the City of Longmont. Shortly after that, the Museum moved again, this time to a converted Sorenson garage at 3rd and Kimbark. The new space opened its doors on September 13, 1970. In 1973, the garage was torn down and the Museum moved to a converted City warehouse and garage at 375 Kimbark Street.
In November 1999, Longmont voters approved $5 million in a bond issue to build a new museum. The bond issue was approved by over 77 percent of voters. The Longmont Museum & Cultural Center was further enhanced by a $1 million gift from the Bill and Lila Stewart family.

Event Details
There is a common saying, “It’s not about the destination, it’s the journey.” Attributed to American poet and writer Ralph Waldo Emerson, it has encouraged the belief that life is not just about goals or achievements, but there are lessons to be learned in every step we take. These three artists featured in Embracing the Journey thrive on finding joy in their process and are united in their intuitive approach to creating artworks that feed the soul.
Marian Davis
Marian Davis’s art is a response to years of independent study in numerous mediums and a desire to create complex surfaces that incorporate multiple layers of color, contrast, shape, visual, and physical texture. The process is a dynamic adventure where she intuitively guides cold wax and oil paint through a continuous interplay using various techniques, mediums, and even some tools she finds in nature. Each stroke of a squeegee or the scraping with a palette knife during this endeavor brings unexpected and often delightful outcomes. Throughout the process, she strives to maintain curiosity, without preconceived notions about what may come next. Davis imagines her audience embracing a moment when they can embrace a feeling or create their own story in her work.
Jutta
Having been seduced to sit down at a potter’s wheel some fifty years ago in Kyoto, Japan clay still has not lost its magic for Jutta. Although the potter’s wheel has been semi-retired by now, a slab roller has become the tool for all her free-form work. Once Jutta is in her studio the outer world is forgotten, and her imagination goes to work. Jutta finds never-ending inspiration in the world around her. If you look closely, you will notice patterns of tree bark, bare branches recreated on a “floral wall branch”, cloud formation recreated as her undulated wall sculptures, and, of course, flowers.”
Tricia Soderberg
The colors, shapes, lines, and patterns found in botanical gardens, and the melding of these elements drive Soderberg’s artistic journey. She views monotypes as the perfect starting point for her mixed media works on paper, which increasingly resemble paintings. Soderberg employs a method of layering colors and shapes to create an illusion of depth and movement. By inking and placing real and artificial plants along with hand-cut stencils on a plexiglass plate, she allows for randomness in her work. Additionally, Soderberg often incorporates collaged elements and mixed media to enhance each print’s unique personality. This blend of inspiration and technique fuels her ongoing exploration of art, making each piece a reflection of both process and passion.

Inspired by the Ralph Ellison novel “Invisible Man,” YOUR REFUSAL TO SEE: A Native Guide Project deals with the artist’s venture of becoming a resident of this city.
Boulder, Colo.: Anna Tsouhlarakis works in sculpture, installation, video, and performance. She received her Bachelor of Arts from Dartmouth College with degrees in Native American Studies and Studio Art. She went on to receive her Master of Fine Arts from Yale University in Sculpture.
In cities such as Portland, Ore., Scottsdale, Ariz., St. Louis, Mo., and Columbus, Ohio, Tsouhlarakis has created various iterations of THE NATIVE GUIDE PROJECT.

Event Details
Created in collaboration with Colorado Asian Pacific United (CAPU) and the University of Colorado Denver’s College of Architecture and Planning, Where is Denver’s Chinatown? Stories Remembered, Reclaimed, Reimagined takes visitors into one of the largest Chinatowns in the American West during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Using personal family photographs and objects, artifacts from History Colorado’s Collection, a portrayal of a typical home, and artistic reimaginings of the neighborhood, Where is Denver’s Chinatown? shares stories from the thriving community that called the neighborhood home.
Once located in the area known today as Lower Downtown (LoDo), Denver’s Chinatown provided a welcoming space for Chinese people in Colorado, who built a flourishing community. The neighborhood represented the earliest Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) community in Denver and provided a space where Chinese immigrants could celebrate their culture against a backdrop of frequent ignorance, hostility, and violence.
The neighborhood persisted through the Anti-Chinese Riot of 1880 but eventually dispersed as a result of widespread anti-Chinese racism and the passage of national laws that restricted immigration and opportunities for Chinese nationals. In addition to looking at the history of the neighborhood Where is Denver’s Chinatown? Stories Remembered, Reclaimed, Reimagined also explores contemporary efforts by Colorado’s AANHPI communities to preserve and reclaim this history, and presents visions for its potential future as a cultural district.

Photo/Video opportunities of History Colorado Center’s newest exhibition and opening celebration featuring the performance of a traditional Chinese Lion Dance from 6 – 6:15 p.m. as well as interview opportunities with History Colorado staff, community collaborators, and guests are available.

This exhibition showcases 31 artists who illuminate darkness through diverse media, ranging from storytelling to scientific experimentation, photography, fiber optics, film, and sculpture. Their works expand awareness on personal, universal, and spiritual levels.While forces of light and dark are often simplified as opposites in a dualistic world, the multifaceted works in Dazzle of Darkness expose this false dichotomy. The artists challenge the one-dimensional reality we have been conditioned to accept and offer a gateway into a new consciousness of the subtle and infinite nuances of the universe.

Event Details
An exhibit recognizing the 50th anniversary of six marriage licenses issued to same-sex couples in 1975.
In the 1970s, a significant amount of activity was stirring in Boulder around the rights of people to love and marry the one they love. Some of these actions were significantly ahead of their time and much of the rest of the country.
On March 26, 1975, a marriage license was issued at the Boulder County Courthouse to Dave McCord and Dave Zamora by the County Clerk, Clela Rorex. This was nearly the first time in the country two men had been granted a marriage license. More LGBTQ+ couples approached Rorex for licenses and five more were granted before the Colorado Attorney General ordered her to stop.
Over a year prior, Mayor Penfield Tate II and City Council member Tim Fuller had amended the city’s Human Rights Ordinance to include protection from workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation. Amid backlash, Fuller was recalled and Tate narrowly stayed in office.
Community and activism had been stirring in pockets of Boulder’s LGBTQ+ communities. Community members approached these elected officials, at great personal risk. Their support opened doors that some had not even considered could be opened.
Join us for a celebration opening night on March 14.

Museum of Boulder
THE NEW MUSEUM OF BOULDER
The Boulder Historical Society was founded in 1944 by A.A. ‘Gov’ Paddock, then publisher of the Boulder Daily Camera, to collect, document, preserve and interpret the history of the Boulder area. Over the years, we have accumulated a significant collection of artifacts, documents and photographs that chronicle the history of the area. Today, the Boulder Historical Society operates as the Museum of Boulder. It is a private 501(c)3 organization with an annual operating budget around $1M.
The Boulder Historical Society was officially organized on October 10th, 1944, when the “Territorial Pioneers” and other interested citizens convened with the intent to establish an organization and a facility to collect, preserve and display the history of the area. In 1945, voters approved a citywide bond to build a new municipal building in downtown Boulder, which would include the history museum. Rising construction costs after the war resulted in the museum getting cut from the project. Instead of moving into a brand new municipal building, the history museum occupied the second floor of a downtown school building until 1957.
Over the years, the museum continued to play an important role in the life of the City. In addition to the small museum, the museum continued to collect artifacts, host programs and publish a few manuscripts. It changed locations a number of times, including an historic home and a former Safeway store. In 1985 the museum moved to its prior location, the historic Harbeck House, on University Hill. The Harbeck House is a 4,000 square-foot historic landmark home built in 1899. The building is located in a residential section of Boulder, just a few blocks from the University of Colorado, Boulder. The building is owned by the City of Boulder and was returned to the City when the Museum relocated to the present site at 2205 Broadway.
For many years, the Museum was a small, volunteer run organization. Support came from memberships, contributions and small grants. Over the years we have made great strides in providing Boulder with nationally touring exhibits as well as developing exhibits based on Boulder stories including Native Americans, aerospace history, natural foods, sports and beer. We now reach thousands of school children in the Museum and through outreach programs, with some of the highest quality education programs in the region. We have become a visible and reliable source of information in the Boulder community, as well as a place to bring friends and family.
In April 2013, the Museum purchased the Masonic Lodge building in downtown Boulder. We embarked on a capital campaign and have converted this building into the Museum of Boulder. It is now a state-of-the-art museum that explores not only the roots of our community, but the accomplishments today that will be history tomorrow; it brings the community together for exploration and conversations about issues facing Boulder today and in the future.

Longmont Museum
In 1940, the first exhibits opened to the public in the carriage house at the Callahan House. The Museum outgrew that space, and, in 1954, moved to the basement of the Memorial Building in Roosevelt Park.
The Museum became more officially structured with the incorporation of the Longmont Museum, Inc., on October 4, 1961.
In 1970, the Museum changed from a private, nonprofit organization to a department of the City of Longmont. Shortly after that, the Museum moved again, this time to a converted Sorenson garage at 3rd and Kimbark. The new space opened its doors on September 13, 1970. In 1973, the garage was torn down and the Museum moved to a converted City warehouse and garage at 375 Kimbark Street.
In November 1999, Longmont voters approved $5 million in a bond issue to build a new museum. The bond issue was approved by over 77 percent of voters. The Longmont Museum & Cultural Center was further enhanced by a $1 million gift from the Bill and Lila Stewart family. Now located at 400 Quail Road, just east of Main Street in south Longmont, the Longmont Museum invites visitors to come and see our regularly changing exhibits, experience our education programs, and enjoy the views from our Longs Peak Room tower.
In 2015, the Museum opened the Stewart Auditorium, an 11,000 square foot expansion made possible by a $4.5 million capital campaign. The expansion included the 250-seat Stewart auditorium and Cone-Shortall stage, the glass-walled Swan Atrium, and the Kaiser Permanente Education Center, which greatly expanded the Museum’s classroom space.
In 2023, the Museum once again launched a new capital campaign, this time to fund a comprehensive expansion, including a complete renovation of the outdoor courtyard, adding a dedicated children’s gallery, and doubling the size of the existing gallery space, among other enhancements. The campaign goal is $8 million with a kickoff and groundbreaking in September, 2023.
Longmont is a diverse, multicultural and receptive city, one in which it’s easy for people to make connections and to thrive as part of the community. As home to many customs and cultures, it’s easy for residents and visitors to find fellowship with others of similar backgrounds and to explore and join in traditions that are new or foreign. The many nonprofit, civic and cultural organizations of Longmont welcome new people to become involved, and there is opportunity to find others with whom to share almost any interest. Not only do “you belong in Longmont” if you’re looking for a welcoming hometown or business location, but “when you’re in Longmont, you belong.”

Event Details
There is a common saying, “It’s not about the destination, it’s the journey.” Attributed to American poet and writer Ralph Waldo Emerson, it has encouraged the belief that life is not just about goals or achievements, but there are lessons to be learned in every step we take. These three artists featured in Embracing the Journey thrive on finding joy in their process and are united in their intuitive approach to creating artworks that feed the soul.
Marian Davis
Marian Davis’s art is a response to years of independent study in numerous mediums and a desire to create complex surfaces that incorporate multiple layers of color, contrast, shape, visual, and physical texture. The process is a dynamic adventure where she intuitively guides cold wax and oil paint through a continuous interplay using various techniques, mediums, and even some tools she finds in nature. Each stroke of a squeegee or the scraping with a palette knife during this endeavor brings unexpected and often delightful outcomes. Throughout the process, she strives to maintain curiosity, without preconceived notions about what may come next. Davis imagines her audience embracing a moment when they can embrace a feeling or create their own story in her work.
Jutta
Having been seduced to sit down at a potter’s wheel some fifty years ago in Kyoto, Japan clay still has not lost its magic for Jutta. Although the potter’s wheel has been semi-retired by now, a slab roller has become the tool for all her free-form work. Once Jutta is in her studio the outer world is forgotten, and her imagination goes to work. Jutta finds never-ending inspiration in the world around her. If you look closely, you will notice patterns of tree bark, bare branches recreated on a “floral wall branch”, cloud formation recreated as her undulated wall sculptures, and, of course, flowers.”
Tricia Soderberg
The colors, shapes, lines, and patterns found in botanical gardens, and the melding of these elements drive Soderberg’s artistic journey. She views monotypes as the perfect starting point for her mixed media works on paper, which increasingly resemble paintings. Soderberg employs a method of layering colors and shapes to create an illusion of depth and movement. By inking and placing real and artificial plants along with hand-cut stencils on a plexiglass plate, she allows for randomness in her work. Additionally, Soderberg often incorporates collaged elements and mixed media to enhance each print’s unique personality. This blend of inspiration and technique fuels her ongoing exploration of art, making each piece a reflection of both process and passion.

The artists challenge the one-dimensional reality we have been conditioned to accept and offer a gateway into a new consciousness of the subtle and infinite nuances of the universe.

Event Details
An exhibit recognizing the 50th anniversary of six marriage licenses issued to same-sex couples in 1975.
In the 1970s, a significant amount of activity was stirring in Boulder around the rights of people to love and marry the one they love. Some of these actions were significantly ahead of their time and much of the rest of the country.
On March 26, 1975, a marriage license was issued at the Boulder County Courthouse to Dave McCord and Dave Zamora by the County Clerk, Clela Rorex. This was nearly the first time in the country two men had been granted a marriage license. More LGBTQ+ couples approached Rorex for licenses and five more were granted before the Colorado Attorney General ordered her to stop.
Over a year prior, Mayor Penfield Tate II and City Council member Tim Fuller had amended the city’s Human Rights Ordinance to include protection from workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation. Amid backlash, Fuller was recalled and Tate narrowly stayed in office.
Community and activism had been stirring in pockets of Boulder’s LGBTQ+ communities. Community members approached these elected officials, at great personal risk. Their support opened doors that some had not even considered could be opened.

Museum of Boulder
THE NEW MUSEUM OF BOULDER
The Boulder Historical Society was founded in 1944 by A.A. ‘Gov’ Paddock, then publisher of the Boulder Daily Camera, to collect, document, preserve and interpret the history of the Boulder area. Over the years, we have accumulated a significant collection of artifacts, documents and photographs that chronicle the history of the area. Today, the Boulder Historical Society operates as the Museum of Boulder. It is a private 501(c)3 organization with an annual operating budget around $1M.
The Boulder Historical Society was officially organized on October 10th, 1944, when the “Territorial Pioneers” and other interested citizens convened with the intent to establish an organization and a facility to collect, preserve and display the history of the area. In 1945, voters approved a citywide bond to build a new municipal building in downtown Boulder, which would include the history museum. Rising construction costs after the war resulted in the museum getting cut from the project. Instead of moving into a brand new municipal building, the history museum occupied the second floor of a downtown school building until 1957.
Over the years, the museum continued to play an important role in the life of the City. In addition to the small museum, the museum continued to collect artifacts, host programs and publish a few manuscripts. It changed locations a number of times, including an historic home and a former Safeway store. In 1985 the museum moved to its prior location, the historic Harbeck House, on University Hill. The Harbeck House is a 4,000 square-foot historic landmark home built in 1899. The building is located in a residential section of Boulder, just a few blocks from the University of Colorado, Boulder. The building is owned by the City of Boulder and was returned to the City when the Museum relocated to the present site at 2205 Broadway.
For many years, the Museum was a small, volunteer run organization. Support came from memberships, contributions and small grants. Over the years we have made great strides in providing Boulder with nationally touring exhibits as well as developing exhibits based on Boulder stories including Native Americans, aerospace history, natural foods, sports and beer. We now reach thousands of school children in the Museum and through outreach programs, with some of the highest quality education programs in the region. We have become a visible and reliable source of information in the Boulder community, as well as a place to bring friends and family.
In April 2013, the Museum purchased the Masonic Lodge building in downtown Boulder. We embarked on a capital campaign and have converted this building into the Museum of Boulder. It is now a state-of-the-art museum that explores not only the roots of our community, but the accomplishments today that will be history tomorrow; it brings the community together for exploration and conversations about issues facing Boulder today and in the future.

The Longmont Museum invites visitors to explore the genius of Pablo Picasso in their newest exhibition, “A Graphic Journey: Prints by Pablo Picasso.”
The exhibit, featuring more than 60 works from 1923 to 1972, takes visitors on a tour through Picasso’s printmaking. It showcases three key stages of Picasso’s career and explores how he tackled themes like love, war, power and humanity.
From detailed early etchings to bold lithographs and inventive linocuts, the exhibit highlights Picasso’s constant experimentation with master printmakers such as Georges Lacourière, Fernand Mourlot and Hidalgo Arnera. Visitors will see not only famous images, but also Picasso’s transformative approach to each technique, offering a rare look at his creative process.
The installation also features original ceramics created by Picasso, on loan from a local collector.
“A Graphic Journey: Prints by Pablo Picasso” opens with a reception the evening of Friday, Jan. 31 and runs through May 4, 2025. Cost is $8 for adults and $5 for students, seniors and veterans. Longmont Museum members and children age 3 and under are free. Admission is 25 cents with a qualifying EBT or SNAP card.

Longmont Museum
In 1940, the first exhibits opened to the public in the carriage house at the Callahan House. The Museum outgrew that space, and, in 1954, moved to the basement of the Memorial Building in Roosevelt Park.
The Museum became more officially structured with the incorporation of the Longmont Museum, Inc., on October 4, 1961.
In 1970, the Museum changed from a private, nonprofit organization to a department of the City of Longmont. Shortly after that, the Museum moved again, this time to a converted Sorenson garage at 3rd and Kimbark. The new space opened its doors on September 13, 1970. In 1973, the garage was torn down and the Museum moved to a converted City warehouse and garage at 375 Kimbark Street.
In November 1999, Longmont voters approved $5 million in a bond issue to build a new museum. The bond issue was approved by over 77 percent of voters. The Longmont Museum & Cultural Center was further enhanced by a $1 million gift from the Bill and Lila Stewart family. Now located at 400 Quail Road, just east of Main Street in south Longmont, the Longmont Museum invites visitors to come and see our regularly changing exhibits, experience our education programs, and enjoy the views from our Longs Peak Room tower.
In 2015, the Museum opened the Stewart Auditorium, an 11,000 square foot expansion made possible by a $4.5 million capital campaign. The expansion included the 250-seat Stewart auditorium and Cone-Shortall stage, the glass-walled Swan Atrium, and the Kaiser Permanente Education Center, which greatly expanded the Museum’s classroom space.
In 2023, the Museum once again launched a new capital campaign, this time to fund a comprehensive expansion, including a complete renovation of the outdoor courtyard, adding a dedicated children’s gallery, and doubling the size of the existing gallery space, among other enhancements. The campaign goal is $8 million with a kickoff and groundbreaking in September, 2023.
Longmont is a diverse, multicultural and receptive city, one in which it’s easy for people to make connections and to thrive as part of the community. As home to many customs and cultures, it’s easy for residents and visitors to find fellowship with others of similar backgrounds and to explore and join in traditions that are new or foreign. The many nonprofit, civic and cultural organizations of Longmont welcome new people to become involved, and there is opportunity to find others with whom to share almost any interest. Not only do “you belong in Longmont” if you’re looking for a welcoming hometown or business location, but “when you’re in Longmont, you belong.”

In the 1970s, a significant amount of activity was stirring in Boulder around the rights of people to love and marry the one they love. Some of these actions were significantly ahead of their time and much of the rest of the country.

Event Details
Created in collaboration with Colorado Asian Pacific United (CAPU) and the University of Colorado Denver’s College of Architecture and Planning, Where is Denver’s Chinatown? Stories Remembered, Reclaimed, Reimagined takes visitors into one of the largest Chinatowns in the American West during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Using personal family photographs and objects, artifacts from History Colorado’s Collection, a portrayal of a typical home, and artistic reimaginings of the neighborhood, Where is Denver’s Chinatown? shares stories from the thriving community that called the neighborhood home.
Once located in the area known today as Lower Downtown (LoDo), Denver’s Chinatown provided a welcoming space for Chinese people in Colorado, who built a flourishing community. The neighborhood represented the earliest Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) community in Denver and provided a space where Chinese immigrants could celebrate their culture against a backdrop of frequent ignorance, hostility, and violence.
The neighborhood persisted through the Anti-Chinese Riot of 1880 but eventually dispersed as a result of widespread anti-Chinese racism and the passage of national laws that restricted immigration and opportunities for Chinese nationals. In addition to looking at the history of the neighborhood Where is Denver’s Chinatown? Stories Remembered, Reclaimed, Reimagined also explores contemporary efforts by Colorado’s AANHPI communities to preserve and reclaim this history, and presents visions for its potential future as a cultural district.
October 9, 2024, 5:30 – 8 p.m.

The Boulder Historical Society was founded in 1944 by A.A. ‘Gov’ Paddock, then publisher of the Boulder Daily Camera, to collect, document, preserve and interpret the history of the Boulder area. Over the years, we have accumulated a significant collection of artifacts, documents and photographs that chronicle the history of the area.

The Boulder Historical Society was officially organized on October 10th, 1944, when the “Territorial Pioneers” and other interested citizens convened with the intent to establish an organization and a facility to collect, preserve and display the history of the area. In 1945, voters approved a citywide bond to build a new municipal building in downtown Boulder, which would include the history museum. Rising construction costs after the war resulted in the museum getting cut from the project. Instead of moving into a brand new municipal building, the history museum occupied the second floor of a downtown school building until 1957.
